1.) Watermelon:
Watermelon is packed with L-citrulline, a precursor your body converts into L-arginine.
This amino acid sparks nitric oxide production, which relaxes blood vessels and pumps more blood to your penis, making erections harder and longer-lasting.

This amino acid sparks nitric oxide production, which relaxes blood vessels and pumps more blood to your penis, making erections harder and longer-lasting.
Nitric oxide is key for strong erections, and studies show that regular intake of L-citrulline from watermelon improves vascular health and endothelial function over time, meaning your stamina isn’t just a one-time boost, but better long-term performance.

701 BCE. Jerusalem is under siege.
Assyrian officers shout threats in the people’s language.
The Judean envoys beg:
“Please—speak to us in Aramaic, not in Yehudit, in the hearing of the people.”
Yehudit. Judean. That’s what they called it. (2)

Not Ivrit. Not “Hebrew.”
Their language was the language of Judah.

A man translates his grandfather’s book, Ben Sira, into Greek.
He calls the original tongue Hebraisti—Ἑβραϊστί.

On Tuesday, we hosted our second @linera_io Developer Meetup, led by @Josiah0x with hands-on sessions from @Sanuel_Eth and @otaikisadiq
Developers got onboarded to Linera, explored the Buildathon, and vibe-coded live on Linera.
Here’s a quick recap 👇

Here’s a quick recap 👇
@josiah0x kicked things off diving into Linera’s core ethos, its unique microchain architecture, and how it stands apart from other blockchains. He also explored Testnet Conway, and the ongoing Buildathon with exciting rewards for all levels of developers.
Then @Sanuel_Eth led a technical session, helping the developers set up their environments, understand Linera’s contract structure, and answered key questions during a technical Q&A session.
I was 34 when the ACA was passed. I remember. I remember how companies were pushing their workers to part-time status so they wouldn't have to provide health insurance due to government intervention. That could be a dissertation in and of itself, but the bottom line is the same - the government messes with the free market to the people's peril EVERY SINGLE TIME.
But that isn't what I want to address today. THE REASON "INSURANCE" IS SO EXPENSIVE IS BECAUSE OF THE ACA.
Just like with student loans, when the government steps in and guarantees a subsidy of any kind to the taxpayer, corporations WILL take that to gouge. Period. So, lets say for example, the government offers taxpayers $15k a year off their insurance plan through the "marketplace?" Insurance companies raise their prices to ensure they capture the subsidy they wouldn't have been able to receive otherwise, because they would never have been able to charge the premiums they've put in place without the government stepping in. It wouldn't have worked in a free market. There would always be a cheaper option that people would flock to.
Over the course of a decade, everything else followed suit. Need a saline IV bag? That'll be $900 with your insurance. Need an MRI? That'll be $2k with your insurance. Having a baby in a hospital? We know the taxpayer is subsidizing your insurance, so, $96k. Want a medicine? We own the benefits managers and we set the prices. A $7 pill costs $6k now. Have fun! Oh, and also, you have a 14k deductible while also paying $1200-$2000 a month. Without insurance? ALL OF THOSE COSTS DROP SO MUCH THAT IT MAKES MORE SENSE NOT TO HAVE INSURANCE. That is how you know the government stepped in. Period.
The reason all of this happened is because the government went down the road of ACA and taxpayer subsidies.
There are solutions. Start learning more about how to be healthy, so you aren't dependent on Big Pharma and the corrupt system to keep you alive. However, if that isn't an option, if the government rolled back the ACA to pre-ACA days, there would suddenly be a company offering insurance to the self-employed/not yet ready for Medicare, or there are many co-ops.
But the big thing? BE WELL so you don't need a doctor and pills up the wazoo. Let employers shop a free market for healthcare again. Stop penalizing/taxing/handing out free cash and let the market determine rates. Also, in case I didn't mention it, get healthy NOW so that you won't be in a terrible position as you age. Not ALL health problems are predictable, but we do have a large amount of control over how we take care of ourselves, starting with the food we eat, which is so critical.

Literally the ONLY REASON everything costs so much and insurance is so ridiculous is BECAUSE of the government, and they want us to feel bad for the people losing their subsidy (I will be one of those) and continue the cash cow on the taxpayers' back. No. Get rid of the ACA and let the market normalize.
In the student loan example, the government guaranteed loans to individuals with no credit history and no established income stream to repay the loans. The colleges knew that the government was guaranteeing all of these loans, circumstances be damned, so the colleges hiked their tuitions through the roof -- prices they would NEVER have been able to charge without the government guarantee.
The Moseley by-election looks fun today, with a couple of Gaza-ticket independents in the mix.
First up, Gaza-ticket candidate Carol Williams — endorsed here by a Greta selfie-cruiser and backed by the Islamist Your Party. Looks like she has a chance. 🧵1/

2/ Carol complains about the division caused by the Raise The Colour campaign but, of course, loves a Palestine flag and joins racist hate marches supporting terrorists.
3/ Carol's preferred flag and "Keffiyeh Carols."

Today, I addressed EU leaders at European Council meeting at a very important moment—a time when Russia is actively trying to turn the cold weather into weapon.
Ukraine knows what to do to prevent the worst scenarios. And this requires decisive and urgent collective action.

The Russians want Ukraine to enter winter in a blackout. Most of the Russian missile and drone strikes are aimed at destroying normal life in our cities and communities—to force people to flee or to leave them completely without electricity.
Yesterday, in the city of Kharkiv, Russian drones struck a kindergarten. This wasn’t a mistake or accident—several drones intentionally hit that place. Luckily, children were saved.
🔴 BREAKING: Minister of Health attempts to halt court challenges to NHI
The Minister of Health wants to pause all court challenges to the NHI Act while continuing to implement it.
Should the court process be paused, NHI implementation should also be paused.
Here's why 🧵
The Minister of Health wants to pause all court challenges to the NHI Act while continuing to implement it.
Should the court process be paused, NHI implementation should also be paused.
Here's why 🧵
What's Happening?
The Minister of Health is trying to halt six constitutional challenges against the NHI Act, claiming it's to "conserve public resources"
They want to stop judicial scrutiny while NHI implementation continues unchecked.
This is an abuse of process.

This is an abuse of process.
Why This Is Dangerous:
The government's tactic would:
🚫 Shield the NHI Act from judicial constitutional review indefinitely
🚫 Allow implementation to proceed without accountability
🚫 Further the initial harms of the Act (e.g. doctors leaving, reduced investment in the sector)
🚫 Deprive citizens of their right to timely judicial review
